My 75g planted

[davocean]

This tank has gone from 20g, to 50g, and last bump up was to 75g about 4 months ago.
I recently changed to all black eco complete, about 3 weeks ago.
Most of the plants except all reds I've had since startup, and in fact I culled that Val way back, to about 25% of what had grown out.
This is my first go at planted tanks, feel free to comment.

How much did it cost you to convert to the new substrate?

Oh Looks fantastic by the way!

Great looking tank. I love the wall of vals covering the back of the tank.

Thanks guys, as far as substrate, it looks much deeper than it is in pics, stand is black, so deceiving.
It's only about 1.5" at shallow point, and 5" at deepest.
I used eggcrate and gravel to make both sides taller/peakier.
I'm loving the rummy's!
What a nice schooling fish, and very active.

Pics of eggcrate to make hills

I used rocks to lock all this in place to prevent it from sliding.
This is w/ original substrate, didn't like it, too grey.
The hills look more dramatic in person than in pics.
